What Causes Nasal Bleeding With Bowel Movements?

My son is having frequent nose bleeds. Some come randomly, some with the slightest bump, and last week every single time he had a bowel movement. We just moved from MI to ND. Should I find a PCP in ND or take him to the ER soon? Appetite, sleep, and color are good. No blood or dark color noted in stool and no straining.

Hi...this is an unusual coincidence and I suggest get his blood pressure checked and also a blood test to check his clotting efficiency of the blood and rule out bleeding disorders. Its not an emergency as he is active and of normal color, but definitely he needs further evaluation. You can be rest assured if everything is normal.
